<<< RPN >>>
Control Changes include RPN (Registered Parameter Numbers), which are extended. When using RPNs, first RPN (Controller numbers 100 and 101; they can be sent in any order) should be sent in order to select the parameter, then
Data Entry (Controller numbers 6 and 38) should be sent to set the value. Once RPN messages are received, Data Entry messages that is received at the same MIDI channel after that are recognized as changing toward the value of the RPN messages. In order not to make any mistakes, transmitting RPN Null is recommended after setting parameters you need.
This device receives the following RPNs.

MIDI Implementation

Portamento control (Controller number 84)

Status

2nd byte

3rd byte

BnH

54H

kkH

n = MIDI channel number:

0H - FH (ch.1 - 16)

kk = source note number:

00H - 7FH (0 - 127)

*A Note-on received immediately after a Portamento Control message will change continuously in pitch, starting from the pitch of the Source Note Number.

*If a voice is already sounding for a note number identical to the Source Note Number, this voice will continue sounding (i.e., legato) and will, when the next Note-on is received, smoothly change to the pitch of that Note-on.

*The rate of the pitch change caused by Portamento Control is determined by the Portamento Time value.
